    Pretty big interview:

    Some quotes:

    Question: What's been the most difficult thing about this transition for you?

    Allen Iverson: Nothing, to me. That's the scariest part of the whole thing. You always get nervous, when things seem too perfect, and things go too right. But hopefully that's just the way it is and that's the way it's going to be.

    Question: In pregame, coach George Karl was calling you a great teammate and a great leader. How does it feel to hear that?

    Allen Iverson: That's always good to hear, from your head coach. Because he's the one doing the most evaluating. For him to feel like that about me, I guess that says a lot about how things have been since I first got here. I'm 31 years old, and being in Philadelphia, Aaron McKie and Eric Snow was always the leaders on our team. I always just led by example. Those guys were so vocal. But here it's different. I'm the more vocal guy. But I've been places that these guys want to go. I've been through wars, playoff series, so I have that experience. So I have that resume for them guys to respect it. That's the way it's been. They have a lot of respect for my game and a lot of respect for what I've been through in my career.
